  Matter / Foreign Policy

Contra

1. Qatar Rejects Normalization with Israel before Palestinian Issue Settles

Qatar denies normalizing relations with Israel. The reason is that the reason for the
normalization of relations is not the core solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that is still
ongoing. Qatar's Foreign Ministry spokesman Lolwah Rashid Al-Khater told Bloomberg "We
don't think that normalization is at the heart of this conflict and therefore cannot be the answer",
"the essence of this conflict is about the drastic conditions that Palestinians experience as 'people
without a state', living under occupation" Lolwah Rashid Al-Khater also alluded to progress
towards a solution to the crisis with Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE)
imposing a stifling blockade on Qatar since June 2017.

On Tuesday (9/15/2020) Washington time, Israel and the UAE and Bahrain signed a deal
to normalize relations at the White House, the United States (US). U.S. President Donald Trump
joined the pact as a witness. The Palestinians have denounced the normalization of Israeli-UAE
relations as well as Israel and Bahrain as a form of condemnation of its Arab brother against the
Palestinian people's struggle against Israel's Zionist occupation. Iran and Turkey have also
expressed similar condemnation.

Qatar's ambassador to the United States, Sheikh Meshal Bin Hamad Al-Thani told VOA
that Qatar does not mind normalizing relations with Israel if 'the conditions are right' and
committed to a two-state solution between Israel and the Palestinians.
 JAKARTA, Cnn Indonesia -- Qatar'sleader, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, told
White House Senior Adviser Jared Kushner on Wednesday that they are sticking to a two-state
solution in the Israeli conflict-Palestina Palestine- making East Jerusalem thecapital of a future
Palestinian state.

Reported by Middle East Eyeon Friday(4/9), Tamim told Kushner that Qatar was
committed to the 2002 Arab Peace Initiative, in which Arab leaders had offered Israel to forge
relations in return for a full withdrawal from territory captured and occupied since the 1967 war.
The offer was as part of a deal to give the Palestinians status as a state. The 2002 Arab Peace
Initiative was a 10-sentence proposal to end the Arab-Israeli conflict supported by the Arab
League in 2002 at the Beirut Summit and re-ratified at the 2007 and 2017 Arab League
summits. konflik Arab-Israel [1] The initiative offers the normalization of the Arab world's
relations with Israel, in return for Israel's full wilayah pendudukan withdrawal from occupied
territories (including the Occupied Territories, Gaza, the Golan Highlands, and Lebanon), a
"fair settlement" of the Palestinian refugee issue under UN Resolution 194, and the
establishment of a Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital. [2] The initiative was
initially overshadowed by the Easter massacre, a major Palestinian attack that took place on
March 27, 2002, the day before the Initiative was published.
 Act
1. Mohammad al-Emadi, Qatar's envoy to Gaza, last month brokered a ceasefire between
Israel and Hamas after a month-long clash along the border. He has regularly visited
Gaza in recent years with Israeli approval, bringing funds to the Gaza Strip to buy fuel,
pay civil servants, and help Gaza's poor.
2. Although Doha will not normalize relations with Jerusalem at this time, al-Thani said,
Qatar will continue to send aid to the Gaza Strip and mediate between Israel and the
Palestinians.
  Problem Solving

Do or Agree to a Two-State Solution, a two-state solution is one of the options for an Israeli–
Palestinian conflict solution calling for the created of "two states for two citizens." With a two-
state solution, the State of Palestine coexistswith Israel, west of the Jordan River. Interstate
borders are still disputed with Palestinian leaders and Arab states wanting a "border in 1967,"
which Israel did not agree to. The former Mandate territory of Palestine will not be part of the
State of Palestine, and will be part of Israeli territory
